ok thank you ladies @sgtpeppertheory @jackee856 @rachaelbutsch @stephg4

doctors around here usually recommend 6 months. 4 months is usually when people start though. I second the sweet peas. carrots too. I started my daughter on veggies first and waited for the fruits so she wouldn't prefer the sweet stuff over the vegetables!

@californiahaley, so usually the Dr tells u when is a good time to star?

he gets rice cereal feed to him by spoon during the day every couple days and I put the rice cereal in his bottle at night to help him sleep @stephg4

I guess you could that's really up to you...I started my son on rice cereal about that time too. I would mix the baby food and rice cereal together.

in my opinion its your judgment call your his mom you do what you think is best also you can try applesauce and mix cereal in it my daughter loved it and its easy on her tummy. but make sure you have juice or water to help wash is down with.. just like us when it comes to real food they get thirsty. also I learned to make sure they sit straight up or a bad tummy ache will follow.

At our 4 month appointment out doctor said we could start if we wanted to. I made all his food, bananas and sweet potatoes with breastmilk

Have you tried rice cereal yet? Try that first maybe mixed with a little juice in it

I would try it why not it won't hurt any

can I start him before 4 months cause he will be 4 months in like a week or two I just feel he'd be more satisfied with food too @jackee856

my son will be four months on May 6th and he eats 5oz of milk every two hours I feel that he's be happier if I gave him baby food once or twice a day do u think I can start him.now or wait until he is 4 months @rachaelbutsch @stephg4

I started my son at Four months...I started with applesauce. I would only introduce him to something new every few days just in case he had a reaction to something.

I started my daughter at four months and started with sweet potatoes and pear zucchini corn

I tried peas at about five months they are sweet but not too sweet u will be able to tell if they are feel it or not
